Something new

I have really gotten into reading foodie blogs lately and I thought I'd give it a try as a way to curb my food intake. I found that by paying little attention to food I have taken to eating too much of it. So I thought I'd do like the foodies do and take pictures of everything I eat. It makes for long posts but it sure is a way to hold yourself accountable. So here is my first attempt:

The day started at my normal work time because of a function at school this morning. I was very hungry and so began the day with a banana and peanut butter

By the time my event was over, at around 10:30, I was starving. Luckily Hubby was home and hungry and making lunch. One of my favorite things, chili dog:

with onions and jalapenos - Yummmmm!!!!!

Around 2:00 I was craving a snack. I grabbed a little dried fruit I had left over, which I forgot to photograph, and Hubby pulled these babies out:

Soybean poke - the best. It's got chili sauce and garlic, sesame oil and mirin. Delish!!!!! A handful of these and I was set.

That was it until dinner which I forgot to take a picture of. We took the dogs for a walk and came home to backed chicken, macaroni/potato salad, steamed asparagus and fresh avocado. Ummmmm....yummm.....

I have to say this little experiment worked today. I rethought things I considered eating because I didn't want to take a picture of it. Interesting. I've also decided to record every bite I eat for lent. I actually got that idea from another blog but I liked it so much I decided to steal it. Unfortunately I forget where I got it or I would give them a link. Oh well. If I stole it from you I'm sorry and let me know and I'll link to you.

Now I'm off to find some car insurance companies that also insure homes. I hear you can get big discounts if you have all your insurance together. I'm off to check it out.
